Having Fun with MYSELF...

2006-06-12T08:48:00.000+08:00

hmm.. the title seems to be abit suggestive huh..haha.. for the past 1 week or so, I've been constantly having fun with MYSELF. I message MYSELF, sing with MYSELF, chat with MYSELF...yeap.....I don't know how to describe but it's fun and at the same time funny...haha...I'll always be amused and amazed by MYSELF. It's something like realising your innerself..hahah.. so what's the meaning of MYSELF???

myself :
1) That one identical with me.
- Used reflexively as the direct or indirect object of a verb or as the object of a preposition: I bought myself a new car.
- Used for emphasis: I myself was certain of the facts.
- Used in an absolute construction: In office myself, I helped her get a job.
2) My normal or healthy condition or state: I'm feeling myself again.

Yeap, exactly what it means...That one identical with me. yup.. managed to get to know this person who has the exact character and thinking as me..it's funny and weird at the same time when you say something that you like and the other person goes "yah! Me too!". then when you dislike something, the other person goes "yah! same here." And the weird part is that MYSELF is not even close to my age and already thinks like me..It's either I'm childish or MYSELF is more mature..I prefer you guys to think the latter.hahah...Funny or weird it may seems but it all summed up to one word, "fun". hahah....yeap..

I bet you guys must be wondering and dying to know who the hell is MYSELF now huh, at this very moment,yah.. at this point of this entry, yes, RIGHT now.....hahah...

MYSELF is..........*drum rolls*............................................... non other than..........................Ashley

Ashley :
1) MYSELF
2)An adult trapped in a little girl.

haha.. yeap... That's MYSELF!!

I'm feeling myself again.

Getting high.......

Good night people!!!Good night!!

Can you feel my world????????

2006-05-31T16:55:00.000+08:00

Everyone has a secret......

2006-05-30T18:00:00.000+08:00

SSssssshhhhh...........

Give me a Break!!! I need a break..Desperately....

2006-05-29T08:59:00.000+08:00

Life + Death = Unpredictable

2006-05-26T15:03:00.000+08:00

Do you agree with the Title of this post??hmm... At least that's how I look at Life and Death. For the past 2 months, I've attended 3 wakes. One is my uncle(my mom's elder brother), another is my Grandma(My dad's mom) and just yesterday, my Cousin...This cousin is the son of the uncle who had just passed away.Yah..2 unfortunate events in a family within 2 months.I'm sure it's obviously and definitely too much for the family to handle.I'm trying to help as much.

Life is so unpredictable. I think I've mentioned this before :"Cherish ya love ones when they are still around, DON"T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED!!If not, when they're not around anymore, you'll REGRET......"

Condolences....

One night in Ngee Ann City

2006-05-08T11:54:00.000+08:00

(ah-dren''ah-lin) epinephrine.

-is an important hormone that is used to prepare the body for emergency situations, eg, by increasing the heart rate. It has widespread effects on circulation, muscles and the provision of energy.

-a natural stimulant that causes increases in the heart's rate and how hard it contracts.

-In adults, current recommendations are for intravenous adrenaline 1 mg (10-15 microgram/kg) to be given immediately and repeated every 3-5 minutes. However, both the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council recognise the theoretical advantages of adrenaline in higher doses (ie 100 microgram/kg) if the initial lower dose fails. In adults, this represents 5-10 mg every 5 minutes.

I know I'm definitely overdosed with Adrenaline/Adrenalin after the 20mins performance at Ngee Ann City on 06 May 2006. The event was Vesak Day Celebration 2006 held by the Singapore Buddhist Federation ..It started with Bryan Wong and Kym Ng introducing the Band, yes, it's us...Black Forest..and Woonyong interrupted their conversation with a hit on the snare.Bryan turned back, making a remark of him being rude before going back to his conversation with Kym.They carry on talking and soon enough, Woonyong hit the snare again...this time twice..haha..Yes we did it on purpose...It was all planned by Bryan though, as a signal that the band is ready and also for some stage effect..And the crowd really thought that Woonyong is disturbing the hosts..haha...And the SHOW begins!!!!

We played Hong Cai Mei Mei (Red ribbon Sister),Kang Kang's version followed by Are you gonna be my girl by Jet then Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out. By this time, the Adrenaline level in the crowd is about 75% already..It was when Ernest and Iqbal started to sing One Night In Beijing,Shin's version that the crowd's Adrenaline/Adrenalin level was boost to the max!! After which is an Original Composition by Ernest named My Freedom.This song brought the crowd to another level of Estacy!!!The feeling was Totally Awesome!!! From the stage you could see the crowd cheering and moving to the groove, swinging their light sticks to the drum beats...When the Song ended, all we can hear were the Crowd cheers and applause......

We thanked the crowd and prepared to move our instruments to the back of the stage when Bryan stopped us. He requested that we play One Night in Beijing again.. this time, Bryan sang. Cool..Kym tried to sing the Opera part but it was simply too high for her.. But they showed great showmanship! The crowd cheered as well....

Went back to back stage.. still feeling as high...this was the first time I felt this high.....The feeling was what we Singaporean referred as.."SHIOK".....hahaha....

The above is how I feel about the event . We did 3 sets of performance for that day.. with an impressive and most memorable ending..At least to me...I'm sure the rest of Black Forest will also feel the same way as I do..

I would like to take this opportunity to once again Thank the organiser ,Singapore Buddhist Federation, to give us, Black Forest a chance to participate in such a meaningful event and also for the wonderful experience. Next I would like to thank the Band for giving me a chance to perform with them...We shall work together to greater heights!!haha...
And Also.. not forgetting Evelyn and Sheena who came for the whole day to help us take video of our performances...Oh yah.. Last but not least, I would like to Thank the most important people, the catalyst for the Adrenaline rush in the Band, the wonderful Responsive and Sporting Crowd!!! You guys were awesome!!!

With that I shall end my long blog with a BIG THANK YOU to all of you, whoever are involved...

As Busy As Can be....

2006-04-18T09:52:00.000+08:00

Am I too greedy??Taking more than I can handle??I'm confused.I feel so busy..but is it just my poor management of time??My head is spinning.....

Anybody seen "this girl" on Bus 53??

2006-04-13T17:15:00.000+08:00

My friend is looking for a girl who took bus 53 towards bishan on april 12th 2006, wednesday night. she was wearing her school uniform, which my friend thinks is brown colour or maybe green. no idea but should be jc student. she was sitting on the left side near the front of the bus where the 2 seats faces each other. she was wearing blue sneakers and ankle socks, using a nokia 7370.

My friend was wearing white polo-t, bermudas standing to her south-eastern direction. My friend boarded the bus along the stretch of old tampines road near hougang at around 10pm or later and alighted before her.

My friend just feels some affinity and would like to befriend her. if you happen to know who she is and how my friend can contact her, please let me know,which inturns I'll let my friend know. there will be rewards: good karma. =)

Know your Direction

2006-03-27T14:50:00.000+08:00

Came across this article @ AsiaOne.com.sg. I find it kinda helpful on how to work towards your Goal/Dream..hope it's helpful to you guys by one way or another:

Believing in your abilities makes it easier for others to believe in you
YOU must be your biggest fan. You need to believe you can achieve your goals so that others will believe you too. Of course, that is easier said than done, I hear you say.

Remember you are unique
There is no one on the planet with the same qualities, experiences, fingerprints or ideas as you. So embrace your uniqueness.

Trust yourself
Rely on your instincts and past experiences to guide your decision-making.

Know your strengths and your limits
Know what you are good at and what you want to improve on. Do a self-audit. Spend time working this through for yourself, and be honest.
Writing down your strengths is a great exercise to encourage the development of your own talents, skills and competencies. Make a long list and refer to it often.

Write down what you do not like about yourself
Once you have completed this, go through the list and evaluate if you can change any of those things.If you can, put an action plan in place. If you cannot — deal with it. Stop beating yourself up over things you cannot change.

Know your belief system
Everyone has fundamental beliefs and values. Be clear about what yours are and stand firm on them.

Reflect on your achievements
Take time to write down all the things you have achieved so you can remind yourself of your successes.

Read client/friends testimonials
If you get positive feedback from your clients, take time occasionally to read what they say about you — it is good for building up your self-esteem.

Be Inspired???

2006-03-24T09:51:00.000+08:00

All of us have Dreams.. as in Aspiration, Ambitions, Goals.But how many people actually succeed in Fulfilling their dreams? For those who have yet to,is it because they are not working towards it?or are they able to??or are they capable enough to achieve it?or can they afford to??What do you think?

If anybody wants to do an essay about the above topic, please send me your essay when you are done.haha..

hmmm...Am I able to,capable enough,afford to fulfil my dream???Let's wait and see..
But I'm definitely working very hard towards my dream.

Inconsiderate

2006-03-21T09:25:00.000+08:00

I've never met someone who is so inconsiderate...erm..Inconsiderate in a selfish way...I know I shouldn't be bad mouthing about someone but...ARGH!! I need to..hahah..Can't do much here but just hope that the inconsiderate person will try to be more considerate and he/she should realise that if he/she wants to survive in the Working world, he/she gotta work well with other people.Being inconsiderate just isn't gonna help.Unless he/she wants to work on his/her own,which I think is not really feasible..Ha! Whatever...Duh...And when you don't wanna help,just say it!DON'T GIVE LAME EXCUSES...sigh...

Hahahaha...I'm not Angry my friends, don't worry..I'm just feeling sad for the people who are affected by his/her inconsideration.

HAD FUN!!!!

2006-03-19T21:24:00.000+08:00

It was fun!!!Had real Great Fun!!!Totally Enjoyed myself!!

Busy Weeks and A Tiring Month

2006-03-16T21:03:00.000+08:00

Yes.It's a tiring month for me with projects n projects..Work,project,work,project,work,project....I've been going to school almost every single day for the past 2 weeks.Yeah so it's like leaving house at 730am for work and reaching home at 1130pm. Slept around 6 hours before the start off another day..hmm..Finally,today I have no project to do.But for tmr and Saturday,there is project...so...yes again.When You kept yourself busy,time flies by very fast.It's just like at the blink of my eyes,a month passes by. But I must admit, although tiring, it's real fun.I really enjoy what I'm doing now.Music is life..For those who've got no Life,HA! Get some Music into ya life....

Almost A Thousand Bucks...

2006-03-07T22:10:00.000+08:00

Correction...My expenditure for last month is no $720 but a freakin' $920!!!!Sigh.. This month I won't be earning much Since I'm taking alot of off days to do my projects.hmmm..

Monthly Expenditure

2006-02-27T09:09:00.000+08:00

Just did a rough calculation of my expenditure this month.It's a Freaking SGD$720!!
How did I spend so much within a month???My monthly salary for my part time job is just a mere $1000 after CPF..That is if I work 20 days per month.But I doubt I'll be able to work the Full 20 days for the next 2 months due to my projects in school.Actually to think of it,my expenditure this month is made up mostly from the gadget I bought for my Home Studio.I bought a 512mb Flash drive at $69.90 and a external 250GB hard disk at $237 and a BlueTooth adapter at $16.90.Hahaha..so excluding these gadgets purchases,my expenditure is still ok.hahah..

For those who are interested in doing an estimated monthly expenditure forecast,here's how I do it:

(Daily Transport fee + Daily meal consumption)x 05 working days + $160($20x8)allowance for 08 weekends=est.$360

Note:The Estimated monthly forecast does not include entertainment expenditures!!!

At the end of the month it may turn out to be more or less.Depending on how well you can control as in restricting yourself from buying luxury items like clothings or going to movies.
I presume that the forecast is only applicable to Singles since entertainment fee will be quite high for couples..

So Gals out there! IF you happen to be looking for a boyfriend,please do not include me in your list!!*I know nobody in the right mind will*Hahah..As you can see,I don't have much to spend on entertainment.It'll be boring..hahahahahaha...

Calculating......

Some thing NEW

2006-02-23T14:35:00.000+08:00

1)Started a NEW module for my Music Production Course.With a NEW instructor and 2 NEW classmates.This module,I'm learning about live sound and recording stuff.It's kinda interesting and yet Stressful at the same time.Interesting is that I gotta learn about Mics and how to do Mikings and recording stuff with a little bit of physics here and there while the Stressful part is that there's simply too much information to digest at a short period of time before we do Recording for some bands.

2)I've finally reformatted my problematic computer.It's like a NEW and fresh computer now.Everything is doing fine so far,I guess...Got a brand NEW 250GB external hard disk."Why so much?" some may ask.I need this amount of disk space solely to store my works;my songs..yeap.it's sort of an investment I suppose.

3)A NEW site for me and Han's Compositions.

4)Some NEW songs coming up too.But haven't gotten the chance to do the recording due to my busy schedule.

That's about the NEW stuff..

Actually there's more.. but due to 2 unsuccessful attempts to complete the entry previously.I'm fed up..My chain of thoughts is being interrupted and I've lost it...The 1st unsuccessful attempt is that my computer reboot when I'm typing my entry half way through.And the 2nd attempt just happened 2hrs ago when my laptop hung.WTH!!!I guess someone UP THERE doesn't want me to post the entry or maybe it's just because the entry is just another "crap" from me so it doesn't really matter posting it or not..ha..So this is the 3rd attempt and it's successful,maybe because I didn't include the "crap" this time..Be glad you guys are able to read this..haha..

Charlie is gone.....

2006-01-30T02:14:00.000+08:00

Yes...Charlie's gone....My family decide to set Charlie back to the "wild" on the very day of the Lunar New year. He's too used to the outside world where he enjoys his freedom.We kept him in the kitchen and it's definitely too small for him..He's barking through the night and will only keep quite when someone is there to accompany him..It's a tiring job;exactly like taking care of a new born baby.Waking up in the middle of the night to feed him and coax him...Lot's of work...It's kinda sad to let this little pup go back to the big world alone, but I'm sure he will survive...I guess it's better than putting him to sleep.I'm just worried that he may get bullied by those kids or some punks.Hope he grows up faster and scare anyone off with his size...It'll be best if someone rich adopts him..Good luck Charlie!!! and take care!!!

Missing....

Chinese New Year!!

2006-01-29T00:02:00.000+08:00

IT's Chinese New year!!Just gotten my First red packet from my dad..but however, I don't feel the new year atmosphere this year..Sigh...The purpose of this entry is not only for my greetings but to make an announcement....

This year is the Year of the DOG..and I believe most chinese will feel that Dog is the luckiest animal for the year...ON the eve of this Lunar New Year, which is yesterday, a stray puppy followed my sis all the way from her work place to our home..
Being the an animal lover, my sis took pity on it and decided to give it a proper grooming since it looks so cute but dirty.I guess she wanted to send the puppy to SPCA after the grooming but however, that person who groomed the dog (I don't know what's the word for it) told my sis that SPCA will definitely put the puppy to sleep since it's a stray dog and not much chance of being adopted...Upon hearing this, my sis decide to keep it with us for a moment until we find a suitable family to adopt it.I don't know what breed is it but it's those kind that will grow into big and fierce Dog..They can be a real good Guard Dog.Singapore Law ban us from having LARGE pets in HDBs..So..My family definitely can't afford a private estate..So the pup must go...

It's a Black male pup with a pinch of white on it's chest and is very obedient.My dad named it Charlie.Reason?Cos my grandma's dog's name is Albert,My sister's Bailey and thus this dog, Charlie.Get the logic?..I guess Charlie's about 1 year old or so...And we are looking for Rich and caring people.Most importantly someone who have time to commit to rear a pet.It takes up really alot of time and love when comes to keeping a pet.
So if u guys know anybody who fufils the above mentioned criteria(must be living in private estate), please give me a call or leave a tag here at the tag board on the right of this page...Thanks alot..

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!

Ás you know, it's the festive season and there's definitely alot of hampers coming around from clients and suppliers.The company got this tradition to share the stuff in the Hampers through lucky draws.I think it's cool.But I'm just a part-timer so I don't get involve in these events.However,my boss shared with me the stuff he've gotten.He gave me one whole piece of Ginseng!!yes!whole piece as the full body of a ginseng.Then some other goodies including one bottle of XO.But since my family doesn't have the habit of drinking,I returned to him.He even lend me his Xbox games!!Cool dude.Ha!

Working in Town area is quite fun.We'll actually go Shopping after every lunch!!haha.. Thanks to my Female Colleagues..haha..Oh by the way, my colleagues are all over the age of 30yrs old and happily married.Who say you can't mix around well with people much older than you??

Life Goes On....

2006-01-15T02:00:00.000+08:00

This goes to the people who have just fallen out of an relationship..IT ain't the end of the world..Life goes on.. It just gets better....

I’m out of place, out of place
I’m tired as much as I have tried
Some things just couldn’t be changed

It’s just moments of magic
And the magic is lost
I need a better place, a better place

The book’s opened, story unfolds
But it’s not the ending I know
Things happen, we got to admit
There’s no point crying over it
Life goes on…Life goes on……

The story ended the moment we parted
Gain from what we’ve lost, Learn from what we preach
All shall be,precious memories...precious memories...

Back to school....

2006-01-11T23:50:00.000+08:00

Yes..I'm going back to school next week.. finally.. I can do something constructive....Been real out of sort this few weeks..I don't know why..Don't feel like myself...Felt uncomfortable...Something's bothering me..But the problem is I don't know what is it....Damn it....Hope this feeling will go real soon....

Been listening to Don't Panic by Cold play and Home by Micheal Buble...Go get the songs and listen for urself...it's up to individual taste though...

Pondering....

This is the job that I've been wanting to do..customer service... to be able to interact with people and stuff..And also it's nice to work at the place where the apparels contributes to almost 60% of my wardrobe... hee...As for Salary wise...it's erm.. really low... since I got no experience in fashion retail industry and I'm starting from the scratch..haha.. but doesn't matter for the time being..and I mean FOR THE TIME BEING ONLY...hee... since I'm still single and available, and my only concern will be the contribution to the household expenses. Will be able to contribute a little at a time I think..I'll definitely gain some experience in the fashion retail industry through this job..I'm Looking forward to it!! yeap...Work commencing next monday which is 28 nov 05.. Wish me luck guys!! oh yah! as for the discount thingy..haha.. don't count on it.. cos I'm still new ya!!

I would like to thank those people who had wished me luck for all the interviews I've gone to..and yah... thanks again...

I've just watched the All About Love starring Andy Lau, Charlene Choi and Charlie Yeung. It's a really nice and touching movie..The movie is about.. ok.. yes, again...about people taking things for granted and stuff like that.. then start to regret only when the person has left... yah yah.. I know.. same old story line... But the cinematography is special.... it's worth watching...

Anticipating.......

Inline Skating...

2005-11-20T22:44:00.000+08:00

Went inline-skating today...it has been a long time since i skate...Inline skating I mean.. not Ice skating... ok I guess I shall used "Roller blading" instead of "skating"..cos i think there's no such word as "blading"...anyway... From today's blading, I realised that it's time for me to get a new pair of inline skates... the straps on my inline skates are all broken..so are Jin han's...hahah....afterall, the skates have already been with me for about 8 years.. since 1997....I need to get a new pair but not now.. cos.......I'm still jobless...yes.. I know.. it's been almost 2 mths since I've finished my NS... Damn.. after many failed interviews.. I will still hang on.. I WILL NOT give up.. I'm not proud to say that I'm a pauper now...cutting down all my entertainment expenses is one of the ways to help me survive til now..haha... so friends, please understand.. it's not that I don't wanna go out with u guys.. it's just that I'm a little broke now...

After inline skating at East Coast Park, I went to watch the Asian Beat 2005 with Jin Han..It was not as nice as I've expected...But it really light up my fire to play my drums again..hahah... I'll do that tmr...yeah....

ok.. Right now..I'm gonna take my dinner.. so..hope that I'll make an entry again soon...haha.. by the next entry, I'll be tellilng you guys of my new job!!hopefully....Ciao!

Good Old Days.....

2005-11-08T03:15:00.000+08:00

It's 1:50am ....I couldn't get to sleep...so I went to my Drawer and took out some stuff...memorable stuff...It's a box with all the memories in it...I opened it up....photos....Tonnes of photos....Neoprints, print clubs....all the way back to year 2000... My first year in Polytechnic.... This touches me right to my heart cos I've got friends who are doin' their first year in Polytechnic too...I can feel the fun, the stress, the test of the friendships and all sorts of funny relationship stuff...It's fun to think about it...Don't you think so too??hmmm....

Took up Japanese course with my group of secondary school friends..It's PURE fun!! NO stress just FUN..at least to me.....gotta know many many new friends...Which fortunately, I'm still in contact with...erm...some of them...hee...Got lots of Japanese students came to our school for exchange programme or maybe a one day tour..it's my first encounter with pure japanese since don't know when...First time trying to use the basic Japanese I've learn to communicate..."Hajimemashite, Watashi wa Kenji Desu..watashi wa 17 sai desu.Dozo Yoroshiku.."(Hi, my name is Kenji,I'm 17 yrs old.Nice to meet you), "O genki Desu ka?"(How are you?),"Anata wa nansai desu ka?"(How old are you?),"Nani O tabemasu ka?"(Wat ya wanna eat?),"Nani O nomimasu ka?"(Wat ya wanna drink?),"Ii desu ka?"(Is it fine?/OK?),"Ote arai wa asoko desu.."(Toilet is over there..),"E-meeru ga arimasu ka?"(Do you have an email address?),"denwa bango wa?"(Wat's ya phone number?), "Singaporu ga Atsui desu ne..."(It's hot in Singapore), I guess the most frequent used phrase for my first year of Japanese speaking will be......."Oha!"......hahah...why "Oha!" ? some of you might be wondering.. It's actually from a song sang by Shingo mama... Shingo is the member of the quite famous japanese boy group called SMAP..the members include the most famous Takuya Kimura..Sorry I don't remember the other members' names...For those who understand Japanese, please pardon me for my poor romanji used and bad translation...

Besides learning Japanese, I also gotta see how much can a person change within just one year...I see many of my secondary school schoolmates looking prettier and more dashing....Gals start to put on make up..then guys start to train up their bodies or some will like leave their hair long...like the F4s....hahaha....

Those days of skipping lectures, sketching on the lecture notes instead of copyin the important notes, thinking of the gal you like while actin' to be attentive in lectures n tutorials, sms-ing while the lecturer is teaching, copying tutorials, studying and sleeping in the library, gossippin' about the pretty gals..tryin' to find out their names...tryin' to know them...Givin' yaself stress during exams period..To think about it..It's an enjoyable experience...

Of Cos!!! There are some personal memories that is only meant for ME and only ME to enjoy..won't elaborate here.. Don't bother askin'...haha....

Took everything out from the box.... one by one, the stories unfold....after the short but enjoyable trip down memory lane, all the stuff were put back into the box and into the drawer where they shall be kept and taken out once in a while for me to enjoy......................... the precious memories....

Yawns...I'm tired...It's 3:11am now...

Snoring away.........

In da mood for love.....

2005-11-02T23:59:00.000+08:00

Jin han carry on singing cos he can't drink alcoholic drinks...At that moment I felt like we are in some night club or something..hahaha...Then Dawn kept on spilling the drinks while she was drinking..

Some thoughts......

2005-10-03T23:12:00.000+08:00

Sigh.. Actually I didn't wanna blog.. but after I read Han's blog, some thoughts just came rushing into my mind....

Han's maternal Grandma just passed away a few days ago.. Can see that he's real upset about it... if u guys interested, u can view his entry at his blog page... entry title "20 August 2005"...

To think about it, the first song I've composed is actually something about cherishing someone only after they are gone...hmm.. I supposed that's always the case for most of the people out there... we tend to take things for granted..or at least I can say that we took things for granted from our family... is there anytime whereby u came home feeling really hungry and expect that dinner is waiting for u at the dining table as usual but to ya disappointment, nobody's at home.. and u start to miss ur mom... or is there any other time that u wanna share some good news with y a family n frens but u can't get to any one of them.. Wat's ya feeling then?? Sad eh??? hmm.. Had experienced this feelings before..it's not a nice feeling yah...Felt so alone...

So... start cherishing ya family n frens if ya haven do so.. cos u'll never know how "Late" is considered "Late"..

Cherishing......

2005-09-22T22:02:00.000+08:00

I feel that I'm real Lucky n Blessed to be born in this family... With such a wonderful Dad n Mom.. and a Elder sis who cares but doesn't show it...haha...Wat else can I ask for?? My parents have always been very very supportive in wateva I do.... However, my family is kinda "Shy" family as in we won't express our love n concern through hugs n kisses but we show it through our conversations..haha... Its mainly becos of this reason, I want ma parents to lead an easy life soon.. so I'll have to really work hard... partly for me but mainly for them... GO GUANGZAI!!!

To Dad n Mom n Sis : I love you guys!!!!!Cheerios!!!!

Freedom is close.....

2005-09-20T19:44:00.000+08:00

I'll be going to Genting again with ma parents.. They are celebrating their 26th Wedding Annivesary and also the completion of my National Service...aha! I think that these are just the excuses..the main reason for going Genting=GAMBLING....hahah...If everything goes right, I'll be leaving this Friday night.. Brothers, I guess I'll miss the Basketball Session this coming Sunday..and also,Sorry Ed, I can't be with ya when "ya need me" the most..hehe..

Wat's wrong with this month man.. some people dying to get into relationship while some just wanna get out of it...and Some is just afraid to get into relationship.... Friends, Friends, Friends... I can't give any advice but hope that you'll be "Awaken when September ends"..hahahaha..and all shall be fine...

Been listening to english songs lately and I find that their lyrics are really beautiful..meaningful...Emotions will set in when I listen to the songs.. Man...

Sitting,Waiting,Wishing.......

Awaken when September Ends....

2005-09-17T21:21:00.000+08:00

So wat the hell wakes up when september ends?hmm.. It's my new life... my career life...my future..my dreams.. All hell will break loose when september ends...hehe.. been searchin' for jobs recently and also sent some applications to some companies.. just waiting for their replies.. *fingers crossed*..

I realised I've been spending alot of money recently.. mainly on transport and KTVs..I must stop doing that...ARGH!!!

Meeting up new frens and catching up with old frens is wat I did recently...Life is fun and amazing.. It's great to meet new frens.. no matter old or young..You gotta learn new stuff from each n every individuals..I believe that there's definitely some reasons behind thats brings total strangers together and become friends.. I guessed it's fate...haha..

Read Han's Blog about the $600 experience..it gives me a re-re-re-re-re-confirmation of the fact that setting up ya own business includes a hell load risks and effort...It's my dream to have a Cafe of my own..But I'm not sure if I can't handle the risk ya see..The experience will be much much more expensive then Han's..I admit that I'm a low risk taker; I only do things that I'm sure that it will succeed or atleast 90% sure.Hope I'll be able to learn to take risk in the near future orelse I won't be able to fufil my dreams as well as my parents'.....

Read Sabrina's Blog about the Looks of a person...I feel that looks definitely play a big part in a person's life... if you got good looks, your life will be much better than those whose looks are just average, as mentions in Sab's entry.. But wat I feel is that Confidence is the most important factor that affects a person's life...With the right amount of confidence, you dare to give everything a try, impress people and able to communicate better with people.. did you notice that I say "the right amount"?? too much confidence means over-confident and which in turn gives people the feeling of you being proud and arrogant...So people.. do have confidence in yourself ya??? Wait.. just to contradict myself..haha..when you look good, you feel good about yaself and when u feel good, u have confience..haha.. in the end, looks still affect the amount of confidence in you..haha..Dun worry, if you dun have the looks then u can make yaself feel good in one way or another...HEck.. Wat am I Thinking of??? Wat the hell...Crap.....

Gaining confidence....

Gymin' !

2005-09-12T22:01:00.000+08:00

Wat's "Gymin'"??? hehe.. it simply means Gym-ing...I'm not sure if it's a word that appears in the dictionary.. but heck.. I'm too lazy to check..hee... So.. I've been doing alot of Gymin' recently.. cos I just signed up a Gym membership and it's not quite cheap.. so I've been going to the Gym often... but it's really fun.. I used to dislike going to Gym but now.. I simply love it!!!hah.. The ambience was not bad.. n the classes that they have are really interesting...no kidding.. there are classes like Yoga,Pilates,kickboxing,all sorts of dance like Hiphop,Jazz,Latin Samba and etc.....There's even Taichi classes.. real cool..hahah....

From the above, you can see that I really enjoyed myself these few days..haha.. The most important thing is that I'm going to get fitter n fitter if I maintian my lifestyle now..haha... Woohoo!!! Wat I'm short of now is a little tanning.. I wanna go Sentosa!!!Argh...

Cheers to a fitter me....

Dinner at Geylang....

2005-09-03T03:07:00.000+08:00

Had something like a farewell dinner at Geylang.. courtesy of my Company Sergeant Major... it's a seafood Dinner.. n ok.. I ate the vegetables only.. haha.. I guess me and ma platoon truly enjoy the dinner.. 20 more days before we finally fufil our liabilities for the Nation.. it's been a good 2 years.. Been waiting for this time since I enlisted in 23 July 2003... now everyone is either studying or lookin' for jobs... hmm.....

It's ain't time to play afool now man.. gotta secure a job fast.. and start working towards ma dream... it's 3:16am rite now.. this is the time of the day where I'll feel dreamy and my emotion sets in... with the accompaniment of the beautiful voice of Nakashima Mika in her song Hitori(which means alone in Japanese) ... Aww.. Feelin' real dreamy now..

Dreamin' away....

where was I ??

2005-09-02T14:27:00.000+08:00

Where was I for the pass few days?? hmm...I was in my camp.. I dun really like to talk about Army so... haha.. I been reading frens' blogs but hey..their blogs were not updated too.. haha.. seems like it's either they've been busy like me or they just simply lost the fire in them to blog regularly..haha..

Yesterday I went to Bugis with Guanghui.. I went to SimLims Square to get my MIDI cable for my piano keyboard.. Damn..it dun really work somehow.. so I'm going to have the cable changed later... I guess it's either something wrong with the cables or my keyboard.. hopefully is the cable's faulty..heh.. I really wanna record some tunes into my PC.. man..

I got this feeling that this September is going to be the month for love...cos I got these few frens longing to get into relationships.. makes me wanna love too.. but hey.. I shan't yearn for it yea.. ain't expecting anything.. haha.. hmm.. wish you all the best ma frens!

Partyin' up this September!
Cheers and Ciao!

Felt great!

2005-08-25T19:23:00.000+08:00

I went to Changi hospital for my specialist review on my ankle.. good news.. hehe.. it's just a strain on the ligament.. it'll recover.. but will take a while.. and the a while is like erm.. almost 9mths... ha! I'm so relieved that I need not do any surgery...

From the hospital, I took a stroll home.. it's about 1pm and so students were going home as well.. As I passed by Metta school, this student which I taught yesterday called me.. haha.. I'm so surprised he remembers me... hahah.. cos yesterday was my first time to Metta school and I only taught him for a mere 30 mins.... cool eh..

Swimming is my favourite sport since I sprained my ankle.. Felt really great after every swim... enjoyed it!

Just for laughs....check this out:http://www.funnies.com/couple.html..hehe...with that...enjoy n Take care my dear frens....

KTV & Chinese Orchestra...

2005-08-24T22:05:00.000+08:00

Had fun KTVing yesterday with Yan, Liting,Cheryl,Fadz and Xiao.... All sang quite well especially Fadz... She got a sweet voice...hahah.. hey Fadz, I know u'll read this.. haha... And Liting is the Canto gal.. haha.. she sings all cantonese songs..haha.. impressive... As usual.. being the nice person.. Yan drove us home..hahaha....

Today, I embark on a journey of Chinese Orchestra....heheh...

Meet up with Fadz to go Metta School at 11 am.. Metta school is for those slower learners... Actually we thought of just hanging out over there since we got nothing to do at home but ended up teaching the students in the Chinese Orchestra... Maia supposed to go too.. that's the reason Fadz went in the first place...to accompany her but she overslept... haha.. The students at Metta are slow learners but they are talkative and not afraid of strangers..haha.. they will like come up to you and ask:"Hey! U are new here ah? From China?" wat the hell? hahah... apparently the instructors teaching them are mostly from China... so they got this mindset that all intructors are from China...haha... As usual, Fadz will speak some mandarin here and there, and this little malay boy asked me:"cher(teacher), she Malay or Chinese?".. hahah....

After the whole practice ends, Fadz n I had lunch at the erm... I think it's called Cafe...in Metta School.. then we met up with Cheryl and Fadz n I decided to follow Cheryl to Elias Primary where she'll be teaching the kids over there....Yup, Fadz n I were so bored.. that we just follow around.. hahah... ok.. the kids were like as playful as any other kids... they practically run around in the room and make alot of noises... hyper active...hmmm.. I can see the Agony on Cheryl's face when she's trying to get them to settle down..haha.... Then again.. being the Mischievous Fadz... she told one of the kid that I'm her brother.. but she obviously dun believe it at first.. then she went to ask Cheryl.. And Cheryl knew wat's going on.. so she joined in the fun.. told her:" U dunno meh? they are brother and sister le!" and the gal was like:" I dun believe it man... he look so chinese.." Then she asked me wat's my name.. I replied her:"Ahmad" and Fadz heard it. Fadz said the same name when the gal asked her.. this time she believed...haha.. poor gal.. yah.. we had fun in the expense of the gal's confusion...haha.. we then had dinner at east point... And I'm back here typing this entry.....

Sweet Dreams......

I just read through my own blog.. realised I got so many pics.. haha.. isn't it better for readers to understand what I'm trying to say?? haha.. pardon my poor command of english.. "A picture paints a thousand word".. is that how ppl say it?? haha.. There's more of the "thousand word"coming around!!

Sore throat's gone, running nose almost gone... now comes Mr Cough... man... When can I get well soon... I wanna Swim!!! Argh!!! Mr Cough is real serious this time round.. it took away my voice... now I can only sing like the local Singer "Ah Do"... man.. my voice... pls come back.....

Yesterday, I chatted with Yan on msn.. Really did some catching up man.. many many things had happened for the past 2 years...Good and Bad..hmm.. Ppl do change with times I supposed.... For their dreams or any other reasons...You won't know wat u really want in ya life until the time comes... Wat I really want in my life?? hmmm... I dun think it's my time to know yet... cos I haven't step into my career world yet...But At least I know wat I want for NOW... That is to get a job that I like which I have alot in mind rite now.. hahah.. Sometimes I feel that I think too much as in wanting to accomplish too many things.. But I sucked at managing my time... Damn... I hate that.. Lets put it this way.. I like to try out new stuff.. so there are plenty of New Stuff out there waiting for me to try.. but I dun have that much time u see.. so.. Argh.. headache... Another problem with me is that I always tend to make the wrong choice... For instance, I chose to get into the first class when I was primary 4.. But I dun like the Stress over there.. haha.. ended up in the second class the following yr... Again.. Chose the wrong class when I'm secondary 3, the wrong subject Combination that is.. Then Polytechnic.... chose a new course which I ended up scratching my head & asking myself wat have I learnt from my 3 yrs in Poly....Damn it.... Now... I need to make the right choice for my Job which I'm going to depend on it on my survival in this materialised world...

The only choice that I've made and I have not regret is the choice of my diet.. which is being a Vegan... Many ppl dun understand why I chose to be a vegan.. Actually it's useless to tell them the reason unless they really understand what a vegan is.. ppl just kept asking.. My answer to it is.. YOU'll only know the reason when YOU becomes a vegan urself...hehe... serious.. I'm not going to say how Divine or enlightened I am or wat so eva.. I dun have a religion but I have Faith that's all... Anyway for ya info.. I'm just diff in my diet .. I'm no diff from any other young adult who parties and do everything fun.. haha.. I guess I might be partying more then some other ppl...haha...

Ok.. Enough of me telling the world that I'm a vegan.. Back to where I left off... Actually alot of ppl have asked me the same old question and the conversation goes like this.. "Qn:Wat ya wanna do when u got out from Army... Ans:Work... Qn: as what...Ans: Dunno.. have to see wat work is available when I got out of army.... hopefully hotel related...Qn: y not study? Ans: I'm not the studying type.. blah blah blah..."
wat the heck.. you guys must be thinking...now is like I got no relevant knowledge in hospitality and yet I wanna get into this line... Man.. told ya I made the wrong choice for my poly course... But I'm still as optimistic! I'll work very hard to find my ideal Job... I must make the right choice now.. can't afford to make the wrong choice again...maybe due to the fact that I'm starting to feel the pressure that I have to take on the responsibilty of taking care of my family.. hmm...

A nice weekend & meet new friends!

2005-08-15T10:22:00.000+08:00

As you can see.. I've been kinda busy the last weekend... Busy Shopping for Kenny's present and attending his b'day celebration on Sat.. Chenchin, Cheryl and I walked for like 4hrs straight while searching for Kenny's present..Though Tiring.. but it was great cos I gotta catch up with frens... Jim and Chen chin studied Hospitality in TP... I told them that I wanted to work in the hotel industry but they discouraged me.. haha.. They told about all the Cons of the industries like the inflexible working hours.. the amount of stress from ya colleagues and the customers... the politics... and all the shit.... Man.. I guess all working environment would have the same situation.. Wat's the Pro then? hmm.. Tips and some encounters with celebrities.... that's all??? hmmm.. What should I do then??? argh!!

Went to Wen Wen's Condo for Kenny's Bday celebration.. Gotta see Shuyan who has slimmed down Quite alot.. haha... Realised that most of them are still very involved with Chinese Orchestra.. Cheryl's even going to further study Music in Beijing;China this October.... Cool.... Sophie's teaching in Temasek Primary school now.. the last time is Griffiths Primary school.. which is just beside my house..haha...Can hear her screaming at the students everytime.. haha.. joking... And I met a new Fren.. She's Fadzy... Confused whether she's a Malay or Chinese.. hahah... She's funny.. and she's Edwina's fren too.. World is small or would u say Singapore is smaller??? It's great to catch up with friends.. at least they know u still exist..hahah....

Sunday is a killer... Went Sentosa in the noon and meet some new frens through Yanni.. They are Jeffrey and Benny... Jeffery's a Navy Officer while Benny's a hairstylist... hahah.. cool.. at least I got a personal Hairstylist now...hahah... Benny learnt his skill at Toni & Guy... It's a famous Salon from UK.. since I've heard of it..heheh...

I taught Lishi, Robin and Yanni Blading... They are fast learners I must say..erm.. I think...hehe... but they managed to learn how to move forward and to make a turn.. At least.. haha...Great weather at Sentosa too..
Oh and there's this Triathlon organised by NUS going on over there.. From wat I see.. I seems a little bit unprofessional cos there are buses and trams and tourists moving around and the competitors have to avoid all these "obstacles".. The pavement is like not-so broad and when there's 2 buses, ppl can't move... let alone the competitors... so their timing would definitely be affected... hmm... or is Triathlon supposed to be like this.. hahah.. I'm not sure..

After Sentosa, we went to Marina Bay to watch Fireworks Display... It's like National Day.. Ppl all over the places... You can see everyone loves Fireworks Display! Don't u?? The Fireworks were MAGNIFICENT!! it's cool... Especially the Finale... wow.. Gorgeous..haha... Besides Fireworks Display, Marina Bay also have some performance by overseas artistes like Sweety, Daniel Chang and etc...... But it's so obvious that most of the ppl were there for the fireworks display only.. haha... After the Display, Everyone, Almost, were leaving... Us included...hahah....

The Marina MRT was sooooooooo Packed that we decided to walk to City Hall MRT Station... we followed the other ppl and we ended up walking for a good 1.5hrs before we reached Tanjong Pagar MRT Station.. hahah... Took the train and procceed to our next Destination..Ah Chew Desserts at Liang Seah Street..... This was my first time there and the Desserts were super duper nice... It's really different from those hawker food stall.. They have all the nourishing desserts like Herbal Jelly, Steamed milk with egg, White fungus with Papaya, Ginko nuts with Barley, etc......... I bet ladies will like it... The Shop also have this oriental style with the wooden stools and marble tables... cool.. Hong Kong Style maybe... great place...

Afterwhich.. The Final Destination... heheh..... Home Sweet Home.... Did a real total body work out ... Dead beat...... however, I felt better.. my throat is better and my running nose is not as serious.. But Yanni's Nose's like dropping off.. She's been sneezing all the way since we met her in the noon.. Bless you Yanni...

Going Town again....

2005-08-13T12:04:00.000+08:00

Man... I got this terrible sore throat and flu going on for the past 2 days.... and it's getting worse.. I've sort of lost my voice...no strength to speak up... help me.... damn.. I hate this feeling.. it's so dreadful.... ARgh! Can't really have a good sleep... So I might as well wake up early.. It's definitely better then lying on the bed and can't get into sleep... any doctors can give me some prescription.?? argh!

Going Town AGAIN, trying to find a present for Kenny's 21st B'day... It's been ages since I've seen him.. Meeting Cheryl to go get present for him since she's the only person who's free.. haha.. Nancy and Chen Chin gotta work while Louis is in the army... man.... The above mentioned names are my sec school friends... Either my senior or my juniors... I've not seen them for a very long time... so no matter how unwell I'm felling today, I gotta do some cathing up with them man... haha.. These are the friends whom I have somehow "neglected" for the past few years.. hahah.. Getting Excited about it...I'm sure lots of "old" friends would be there..ha.. Cheers.. Hopefully will take some nice pics of THEM.. not me.. I look terrible in the present state..hahah....

I didn't go swimming again!! Argh!! Not feeling well is the reason this time.. hahah...everytime there's an excuse somehow...hmmm... but really... nvm.. I'll work out more when I feel better.. Working towards my goal of being FAT (Fit And Tanned)....hehe....

2005-08-12T22:50:00.000+08:00

It's cloudy this morning... so I was afraid it's going to rain soon... therfore i didn't go swimming...
Went to Town to meet some of my platoon mates; they are Guanghui, Kaijie, Eugene,CS and William... Went shopping for my sandals but didn't find any to my liking..hehe.... after which, about dinner time, the whole group is left with Guanghui, Eugene and Myself... The rest went to meet their friends and girlfriends respectively..haha..

While we were going to Far East Plaza from Takashimaya, a tourist came to ask for direction.. we were heading the same way so we just bring him there.. In between I managed to learn that he's from India.. I think he's rich.. hahah.. cos he told me he's going to cruise to Penang and Phuket.. afterwhich, he will be back in Singapore and leave for India the next day.. cool eh... I always enjoy helping ppl...

After Fast East Plaza, we went to Marche for Dinner... It's been ages since I went there...haha...ok.. wait a second.. some of u might be wondering wat is a vegan doing in Marche.. ok.. for ur info, I'm a vegan of own will which means I dun only eat food from a pure vegan stall.. As long as it's vegeatbles, I can eat... Then Marche do have Rosti(fried Shredded potatoes) and vegetables and Mushroom & cheese crepe... I had a Rosti and a mushroom &Cheese Crepe... I'm bloated... haha.. It taste nice but I can't smell cos my nose is blocked.. damn... Went home after that.. 1 day gone...hah..

There are also photos which I took during my oversea trips with my Secondary school Chinese Orchestra.. In my four years in the Orchestra, I've gone to Beijing;China,Harbin;China & Perth;Australia... Most memorable one would be Perth cos the whether is good and we have somehow grown up..hahah.. As for Harbin, it's the first place where I feel Snow... it's Cool.. literally..hehe..

Fireworks at Tampines

2005-08-09T21:26:00.000+08:00

Sad to say.. the Fireworks at tampines was nothing impressive as compared to the one i saw last year at the Esplanade.... Disappointed of cos, not only for me i guess.. the crowd over there must be feeling the same as me, some even waited for a period of time I think... But at least I went to tampines central at about 8pm.. hehe.. the fireworks started at about 8.15pm.. there's 2 rounds of it.. I saw the first & heard the second...Which means I left after the first.. and only about minutes later did I hear the second round of fireworks blasting away.. Damn.. I missed the nicer one...hahah... As for the first round, the fireworks are simply sparks.. almost no explosion.. it looks like shooting stars defying gravity.. shooting upwards.. that's all.... sigh...

But Upset I shall not, cos I'll be going to Marina South this coming Sunday to watch the fireworks..hehe.. I bet it'll be better than this.... hahah.. moreover with frens.. it'll feel different..haha.. A girlfriend would be betta..hahah.. but too bad...wat eva...

After the fireworks I went to Tampines mall for a short walk.. nothing new.. as usual but the crowd is significantly lesser... never seen Tampines mall or century square to be this empty.. not much ppl shopping.. Must be the National day celebration..

Oh man.. I missed Edwina... haha.. as in just now.. Just received her sms that she was there at Tampines Central watching the Fireworks too.. Who else went? hmmm.... Anyway.. Edwina if ya reading this.. remember to let me see ya project when done k? and Best of Luck for ya tests..But ya own effort if the most important.. haha..

Happy Birthday Singapore!

2005-08-09T11:33:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! I'm back in Singapore... It's a tiring trip back home.... first of all, I'll like to wish Singapore a very Happy Birthday.. and also to my cousin, who's b'day also falls on e 9th August.. and also to Fred's Mom... Fred if u're reading this! hahah....

Ok. How's the trip to Genting??hmm... it's reasonably fun... Spent almost 24hrs in the casino! hehe.. As the chinese saying goes:"9 out of 10 gambles will lose..." not surprisingly.. I didn't fall in the 1 that wins... But I had fun.. so who cares...

From this trip, I've realised that money is really earned just to be spent... although u know that u're basically throwing away ur money when u gamble, u just wanna take the risk... haha... It's the excitement of anticipating the results that makes u willing to spent money to get this excitement...haha.. just like taking all the Theme park rides.. u paid for the excitement...

Went to catch a movie "Seven Swords"directed by Tsui Hark (a Hong Kong director famous for his action & martial arts filmography)Together with another director Zhang Yimou.. both of them have the same type of style.. The show was as usual.. Tsui Hark style... Full of Action..Similar to Zhang Yimou's previous films like "Hero" & "House of Flying Dagger"... Oh and the Ticket price is at RM$10... which is about SGD$4.50.. haha.. cheap... then the Popcorn combo is only RM$4.00.. Damn cheap....

In Conclusion... I had fun & I guess my parents too...hehe..
Oh! I gave some "coffee money" before I left for Singapore....

Finally!! The blog is up and ready to fly...

2005-08-04T22:40:00.000+08:00

Yeah! finally.. my blog is alive again.. A fresh look & a fresh start.. however, there's much to improve on... you'll see later... let see... Hope that I'll be able to update this frequently since i'm kinda free now.. At first i wanted to have a bit of designs for the new blog.. however after some search for inspiration... I decided that simplicity is the best.. for me n the readers (u guys).. I bet you won't want to search for my blog through the complicated designs eh...

I guess nobody cares what I have done for the past 2 yrs... hmm.. (I don't even care why should the others..hahah) But i'm telling ya anyway.. haha..basically I'm serving the army...nothing else but the army... damn.. it's boring... Thank god it's gonna be over soon... This sept.. on the 22nd of the month.. I will embark onto the next stage of my life... my career phase... haha... Getting real excited about it! although I have not begin my job hunting yet...hehe.. btw(by the way) sorry for the dots.. I tend to put lots of .......(dots) when i'm typing.. haha.. see... even in my sms....

I'll be leaving for Genting Highland for the period from 5th Aug til 8th Aug... so I guess I won't be able to update the blog any sooner before the eve of national day... hehe.. It all depends.. wait for my good news of me winning the Jackpot or such..(hopefully) wish me luck guys...

Think i gotta go get some sleep cos I need to get back to camp tmr morning... yes.. camp.....Damn.... then I'll leave for Genting about 930pm i think... so hope to see ya guys leave a msg down at the "Shout box".. and Wish me Luck ! see ya next week..Ciao!
